* WidgetSeries: If this show doesn't qualify as a Wierd Thing from Japan, we don't know what would.

* OverlyLongGag: In episode 1, the narrator keeps trying to say Bananya's name, but each time gets cut off at "Ba-" or "Bana-" before Bananya interupts with "Nya!" This keeps repeating for a full 30 seconds, to the point where the narrator says "Ba-" one more time, gets no response, and finally thinks he's going to finish when Bananya says "Nya!" again.

* VanityIsFeminine: Bananyako, the only girl in the house, is fussy about her makeup and looking cute. Even Long-haired Bananya comes off as kind of effeminite for grooming himself so much.

* ProudBeauty: Long-haired Bananya knows he's beautiful and loves it, although he seems content to just admire himself without necessarily needing attention from others.

* CuteKitten: Baby Bananya.

* LongHairedPrettyBoy: Long-haired Bananya provides an animal-fruit hybrid of this trope.

* {{Narcissist}}: Long-haired Bananya. See TheDandy above.

* SweetTooth: According to the Narrator, Bananya is fond of sweets, and his dream is to become a chocolate-covered banana.

* TheDandy: Long-haired Bananya.

* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: Bananya's species are miniature cats who hide inside banana peels like hermit crabs and their shells. The equation goes something like this: Everybody likes bananas; everybody likes cats. Therefore, combining the two will produce the best animal. If it's cute, it doesn't have to make sense!

* {{Masquerade}}: The Bananyas don't want to be disovered by humans, and they go back to pretending to be regular bananas whenever people come home.

* WidgetSeries: If this show doesn't qualify, I don't know what would.

The Narrator claims to have discovered a species of tiny cats who hide inside bananas and only come out to play when humans aren't around, describing the results of his research like a silly version of a nature documentary.
